Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a capacitor, and more particularly, to a capacitor having a cathode of an active material supported on a casing sidewall and on an intermediate current collector disposed between two spaced apart side-by-side anode pellets.
- the intermediate current collector/cathode active material subassembly is housed in a first separator envelope, which is positioned between the side-by-side anodes to form an electrode assembly.
- This electrode assembly is then housed in a second separator envelope. That way, the anode and cathode are kept from direct physical contact with each other by the "bag-in-a-bag” separator design of the present invention.
- a working electrolyte filled into the casing serves as an ionic transport for charging and discharging the capacitor.
- U.S. Patent No. 7,483,260 to Ziarniak et al. which is assigned to the assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference, describes a capacitor having side-by-side first and second anodes electrically connected in parallel to each other inside a casing.
- the anodes are housed in their own separator envelopes; however, heat sealing each anode in its own envelope is complicated. It is particularly difficult to seal and trim the second separator envelope without damaging the first envelope.
- the present invention is directed to a capacitor having at least two side-by-side anodes, each preferably in the form of a tantalum pellet, housed inside a casing.
- An exemplary casing includes two shallow-drawn casing portions, each housing one of the anode pellets and each in the shape of a clamshell having their annular rims butt welded each other.
- a cathode current collector is disposed between the two anode pellets.
- Cathode active material is supported on the opposed major faces of the current collector and the current collector/cathode active material subassembly is housed in a first separator envelope.
- the first separator envelope housing the cathode current collector/cathode active material subassembly is positioned between side-by-side anodes and this electrode assembly is then contained in a second separator envelope.
- the two anodes can be connected in parallel inside or outside the casing, or they can be left unconnected to each other.
- the second separator envelope In most dual anode designs there is also cathode active material supported on inner surfaces of the casing in a face-to-face alignment with an adjacent one of the anodes. That way, the second separator envelope also prevents direct physical contact between the anode pellets and the cathode active material supported on the casing sidewalls. With the casing serving as the cathode terminal, the first and second separator envelopes prevent short circuit contact of the anode with the cathode or with the cathode terminal.

- the anode pellets 12, 14 and their leads 32, 84 are anodized by immersing the assembly in an electrolyte and applying a current.
- the electrolyte includes constituents such as water and phosphoric acid and perhaps other organic solvents.
- the application of current drives the formation of an oxide film that is proportional in thickness to the targeted forming voltage.
- a pulsed formation process may be used wherein current is cyclically applied and removed to allow diffusion of heated electrolyte from the internal pores of the anodes. Intermediate washing and annealing steps may be performed to facilitate the formation of a stable, defect free oxide.
- the anode pellets 12, 14 and extending leads 32, 84 are anodized to a formation voltage that is greater than zero up to 550 V.
- the anode leads 32, 84 preferably comprise the same material as the anodes 12, 14.

- a first separator envelope 36 of electrically insulative separator material is provided between the anodes 12 and 14 and the current collector 34 supporting the cathode active material 16.
- the first envelope 36 comprises opposed first and second sheets 38 and 40 of separator material that are sized and shaped to surround the cathode current collector 34.
- the sheets 38, 40 are connected to each other at their coincident peripheral margins by any suitable means including adhesive or a heat seal 42.
- a second separator envelope 44 is provided.
- the second envelope 44 contains or houses the entire electrode assembly comprising the current collector 34/cathode active material 16 subassembly housed in the first envelope 36 and the first and second anodes 12, 14.

- the electrolyte of the former publication comprises water, a water-soluble inorganic and/or organic acid and/or salt, and a water-soluble nitro-aromatic compound while the latter relates to an electrolyte having de-ionized water, an organic solvent, isobutyric acid and a concentrated ammonium salt.
- the electrolyte is provided inside the hermetically sealed casing through a fill opening closed by a hermetic closure 62, as is well known by those skilled in the art.
- the casing 18, including the clamshells 20, 22, being of a conductive metal serves as one terminal for making electrical connection between the capacitor 10 and its load.
- a pin 64 is welded to the clamshell sidewall 24 to provide the negative terminal for the capacitor 10.
- a conductor or feedthrough lead 66 connected to the anode wire 32 extends from the anode 12 housed in the casing 18 and through the first surrounding sidewall 24.
- the anode feedthrough lead 66 is electrically insulated from the metal casing 18 by an insulator glass-to-metal seal 68.
- the glass-to-metal seal comprises a ferrule 70 defining an internal through bore or passage 72, preferably, but not necessarily of a constant inside diameter.
- An annular step 74 provided at the upper end is of an outer diameter sized to fit in a closely spaced relationship in an annular opening 76 in the first clamshell sidewall 24 with the remaining body of the ferrule butted against the inner surface of the sidewall.
- the ferrule 70 is secured therein by welding, and the like.
- the anode 12 has a notch 78 that provides clearance for the glass-to-metal seal 68.
- the anode wire 32 embedded in the anode active material extends outwardly from the notch 78 and has a distal end 32A bent into a position generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of ferrule 70.
- a proximal end 66A of the anode feedthrough lead 66 is bent into a J-hook shape that is aligned substantially parallel to the distal end 32A of the anode wire 32.
- the distal end 32A of the anode wire is then welded to the proximal end 66A of the feedthrough lead 66.
- An insulative glass 80 provides a hermetic seal between the inside of the ferrule 70 and the anode feedthrough lead 66.
- the glass is, for example, ELAN ® type 88 or MANSOLTM type 88.
- the feedthrough lead 66 preferably comprises the same material as the anode active material. In that manner, the portion of the feedthrough lead 66 extending outside the capacitor 10 is hermetically sealed from the interior of the capacitor and insulated from the mating casing clamshells 20, 22 serving as the terminal for the cathode electrode.
- the other anode 14 likewise has a conductor or feedthrough lead 82 connected to an anode wire 84 that extends from the anode and through the second surrounding side wall 28.
- the feedthrough lead 82 is electrically insulated from the metal casing 18 by a glass-to-metal seal 60 comprising a cylindrically shaped ferrule 88.
- An upper step of the ferrule 88 fits in a closely spaced relationship in an annular opening 90 in the second casing sidewall 28 with the ferrule butted against the inner surface of the sidewall.
- the ferrule 88 is secured therein by welding, and the like.
- anode 14 has a notch 92 ( FIGs. 2 and 3 ) that provides clearance for the glass-to-metal seal 86.
- the anode wire 84 embedded in the anode active material extends outwardly from the notch with a distal end 84A bent into a position generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ferrule 88.
- a proximal end 82A of the feedthrough lead 82 is bent into a J-hook shape that is aligned substantially parallel to the distal end 84A of the anode wire 84. Welding then electrically connects the anode wire 84 to the feedthrough lead 82.
- An insulative glass 94 similar to glass 80 of the glass-to-metal seal 68 for the anode 12, seals between the inside of the ferrule 88 and the anode feedthrough lead 82. This glass hermetically seals that portion of the feedthrough lead 82 extending outside the capacitor 10 from the capacitor interior, insulated from the mating casing clamshells 20, 22.
- members 80, 94 are not glass, but, instead, are a synthetic polymeric material such as an elastomeric material that is capable of sealing between feedthrough leads 66, 82 and the inner surface of the respective ferrules 70, 88.
- a suitable polymeric material for the layers 80, 94 is, for example Master-Sil 151 made by Master Bond. While such a seal structure using only a synthetic polymeric material is not necessarily hermetic, acceptable isolation of the electrolyte from inside of the casing 18 to the outside thereof is provided by the polymer layers 80, 94.
- the capacitor 10 illustrated in FIGs. 1 to 3 has the anode feedthroughs 66, 82 left unconnected to each other.
- An advantage of separately connecting the anode feedthroughs 66, 82 to an external charging circuit is that the charging or discharging currents can be distributed over the several feedthroughs, which allows smaller, more flexible leads and connections than one lead with an equivalent current carrying capacity.
- the anode feedthroughs 66 and 82 for the respective anodes 12, 14 are electrically connected to a common positive polarity terminal 96.
- This is accomplished by first mounting an insulator 98 having spaced apart openings sized to receive the feedthroughs 66, 82 when resting on the clamshell sidewalls 24, 28.
- a bridge 100 of a conductive material, for example, nickel, is then supported on the insulator 98.
- the bridge has a pair of openings that surround the anode feedthroughs 66, 82.
- the bridge 100 is secured to the feedthroughs 66, 82 by respective welds 102 and 104 to electrically connect them together.
- the common positive terminal 96 is electrically connected to bridge 100.
- the terminal 96 has an enlarged base that is positioned about at the midpoint on the bridge between the feedthroughs 66, 82. In that manner, the terminal 96 is aligned along a common axis with the feedthroughs 66, 82 and electrically secured thereto, such as by welding or soldering.
- the bridge can also be crimped onto the feedthroughs 66, 82 by applying a force that deforms the bridge from opposed directions onto the feedthroughs.
- the capacitor 10 is then connectable to a load (not shown) as a power source. Connecting the negative polarity terminal pin 64 and the common positive terminal 96 does this.

- the margins 110A, 112A are secured to the current collector 34 by a suitable adhesive 113 to thereby contain the cathode current collector 34 in a first separator envelope 114.
- the margins 110A, 112A are not secured to each other at this time, but, as described presently, will be so secured in a later manufacturing step.
- the second envelope 116 comprises seventh and eighth separator sheets 118, 120 that are sized and shaped to house or contain the electrode assembly including the cathode current collector 34 contained in the first separator envelope 114 and positioned between the anode pellets 12, 14. Respective outwardly extending peripheral margins 118A and 120A contact outer surfaces of the margins 110A, 112A of the fifth and sixth sheets 110, 112 of the first envelope 114.
- This four-ply separator sheet assembly is then sealed together at the coincident overlying margins 110A, 112A, 118A and 120A, for example in a heat seal manufacturing step.
- an adhesive (not shown) is used to secure the coincident separator margins 110A, 112A, 118A and 120A together.
- Figure 7 illustrates another embodiment of a "bag-in-a-bag” separator design for an electrode assembly according to the present invention.
- This embodiment comprises ninth and tenth separator sheets 130 and 132 that are sized and shaped to cover respective sides of the current collector 34 supporting the cathode active material 16.
- the ninth and tenth separator sheets 130, 132 have respective outwardly extending peripheral margins 130A, 132A that are secured to each other, for example by an adhesive or heat seal 131 except where the cathode current collector 34 extends outwardly from the sheets 130, 132.

- the anode leads 12A, 14A are connected to a feedthrough lead 138 extending through a conventional insulator and seal structure 140.
- the insulator and seal structure 140 can be a hermetic glass-to-metal-seal or, alternately, one similar to that described previously with respect to FIGs.
- seal member 80 and 94 are not glass, but, instead, are a synthetic polymeric material such as an elastomeric material that is configured to seal between feedthrough lead 138 and the inner surface of a ferrule 142 for the feedthrough 140.
- a suitable polymeric material is, for example Master-Sil 151 made by Master Bond. While such a seal structure using only a synthetic polymeric material is not necessarily hermetic, acceptable isolation of the electrolyte from inside the casing 18 to the outside thereof is provided.
- the anodes 12, 14/cathode active material 16 subassembly is then housed or contained inside a second separator envelope 144 comprising eleventh and twelfth separator sheets 146 and 148.
- the eleventh separator sheet 146 partially surrounds the anodes 12, 14 and cathode active material 16 housed in the first separator envelope 134 and comprises an outwardly extending peripheral margin 146A.
- a twelfth separator 148 has a size and shape configured to serve as a "lid" to the eleventh sheet 146. In that manner, the eleventh and twelfth separator sheets 146, 148 are joined to each other at coincident margins 146A, 148A by a heat seal or adhesive 150.
- the anode leads 12A, 14A and the attached feedthrough lead 138 extend through a sidewall of the eleventh sheet 146.
